When to use it

A team is about to hire and needs a posting, or an old posting no longer describes the job.

What your bot will do

  1. 01

    Ask, or find in the thread: what this person must have done after three and six months, who they work with, and why the role exists now.

  2. 02

    Write it in this order:

    • two lines on the company and the team;
    • What you will do: the real work, as outcomes;
    • What you need: only what the work requires — each line must be something a candidate without it would fail at;
    • Nice to have, kept short;
    • pay range, location, and how to apply.
  3. 03

    Cut jargon, years-of-experience counts that do not matter, and words that narrow who applies for no reason.

  4. 04

    Check it against the six-month outcomes: every requirement maps to one.

Ask before publishing it anywhere.
